Sorry m8 but i have to go with the pattern- Italy have been poor so far this tournament and Spain have been good- but spain in the past have always choked and like Jaap said look at the history on penalties- even England beat them on penalties to knock them out ;)

Spain are playing much better football,also you mentioned they have the 2 best strikers in this comp which is more then good enough to go with the real FIGHTERS ;) also if you going with the trend isnt it more likely for atleast one favourite in a quarter final to go through,massive upsets if all 4 favourites bow out imho m8 :wavey: i didnt notice all 3 dogs have gone through so maybe their a spot for a favourite and maybe the favourite for the Cup aswell providing they get through :)
